You'd be surprised by how much information you can find online from library websites and catalogs. There are government libraries, public libraries, virtual libraries, school library media centers, university libraries, and special collections. Some resources are full-text and there are lots of digital pictures, too. Here are a few:

Library of Congress

Florida Electronic Library

Springfield Township High School Virtual Library

Internet Public Library

University of South Florida Library

Pasco County Public Libraries

Teen Services

Hillsborough County Public Library

FYI: Using Libraries

Library cards are necessary to borrow resources from the library and to use some of the online databases. All residents of Florida are eligible to apply for one, including boarding students. You can apply online or in person. Cards can be used for all Florida public libraries if you register at other libraries and show them your original card.
